Chapter 2
I was so excited! I finally had a bed to sleep on! I've been sleeping on the ground for the last few days.
"I can't believe Anna and Yoh are letting us stay here for free!" I squealed while looking around the room. "We should show our appreciation, Mirage. Like, help with chores and stuff." Mirage started purring as she found her way to the end of the bed and curled up.
I always wondered why Mirage was a cat. I thought, most of the time, spirit ghosts were old shamans. My family would always wonder why she came to me. Or why she was purple. I mean, you don't see a violet cat everyday, come on!
She just showed up one day and chose me to be her mistress. I don't even remember.
Flashback
"Honey! There's a cat in the babies room!"
"How can that be! The windows and door was shut."
"I know! But there's a purple kitten on the side of Jem's cradle!"
"Purple! Let me see!" My father ran to take a look, along with his spirit ghost, Zarcan.
"My goodness, you weren't kidding!" He reached down to grab the kitten. But suddenly, she disappeared and reappeared at the side of my head.
Everyone just stared in pure shock.
"I-I think that's a spirit." Zarcan stuttered in disbelieve.
"That's impossible! She's only four days old!" My mother gasped.
"Well, spirits can come to a shaman very early in life. But, why is it a cat?" My father asked confused.
"Do you think it talks?" My mother asked.
"I have no clue."
"Hey little guy, can you talk to us?"
Mirage looked up with big black eyes and peeped, "Mew!"
"I'll take that as a no. Maybe she will learn to talk later."
"How do we know it's not evil?" My mother asked worried.
"I do not sense any evil auras around it. I think it will be fine," Zarcan concluded.
"Do you think Jeanne will get her spirit soon?" My mother asked.
"Maybe, but you never know. I have a feeling hers will take longer to come."
"I think Jeanne's will take longer too." Zarcan agreed with my father. He looked down at the violet kitten. "Are you a boy?" he questioned. Mirage just stared back at him. "Are you a girl?"
"Mew!" she squealed.
"Ok, I'm pretty sure it's a girl."
My mother chuckled, "well, I guess we own a cat now. And we can't get rid of her!"

That was the story my family has told me. I wish I remembered. She was probably so cute as a kitten! (That's another weird thing; she grows like a living cat!)
When I was old enough I named her Mirage. She really liked the name too, because she is just like a mirage. She disappears and turns up in another spot. I never really could play hide and seek with her!
There was a knock at the door. When I opened it, no one was there.
"Umm, Jem I was wondering if you wanted to come down for dinner?"
I looked down.
"Oh Morty! Thanks so much. I'll be right down."
"Mirage do you want to come down?" She was curled in a ball sleeping. I'll just leave her there.
"Here Jem, I saved you a seat."
"Oh, thanks Horo!" He blushed a little.
"OH! And thanks again, you guys, for letting me stay here. It's really kind of you."
"No problem!" Yoh said with a big smile.
"It's nice to have you, Jem." Rio said as he sat on the other side of me.
After eating, like the best meal I ever had, everyone started fighting about whose time it was to do dishes.
"I'll do it!" I squeaked. I stood up and started collecting dishes.
Everyone's mouths hung open.
"Are you sure, because you don't have to!" Jun exclaimed.
"Don't worry, I want to. And besides, I owe you guy's big time."
